The 74: An EDlection Showdown in Maryland

Could a ‘Blue Wave’ Unseat America’s Second-Most Popular Governor — and Reshape the State’s Education Priorities?

In an article in The 74 comparing the education platforms of Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Candidate Ben Jealous for the upcoming election, University of Maryland College of Education Assistant Professor Ethan Hutt weighed in on the issue.

“In some ways, the governor is a little bit more influential in the next administration, depending on whether and to what extent they take up those recommendations and try to create a new funding formula for the state going forward,” Dr. Hutt told the 74.

Dr. Hutt is an assistant professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. His research interests explore the historical relationship of schools, the legal system, and educational policy.
